7 WWW.HPLusmAGAzINe.COm 7 WWW.HPLusmAGAzINe.COm 7 We are privileged to know and to work with many Futurist Heroes. However, we want to see this league of advocates for a positive future in which poverty, scarcity, disease, and ignorance are erased from humanity, grow much larger. Watching the news as we do, we witness incredible breakthroughs nearly every week. These are stories that would have been the "story of the year" if they had happened just a decade ago. But these days, they are quickly swept aside by the next breaking science story. They seem to come at ever increasing speeds. In this sense, we are becoming ever more aware of the implications of moore's Law being played out in the "NBIC" (Nano, Bio, Info & Cogno) "Information science" fields. Here at h+ magazine, we hope that (among other things) we can inspire young people to study and get involved in the emerging "NBIC" sciences and technologies so as to help us transcend our genetic/ biological limitations. We're hoping that future generations will be able to live incredibly long and healthy lifespans without disease, enjoy higher intelligences (perhaps augmented by computers through brain- computer interfaces), and generally be more productive and happy. Join our h+ Community and help bring about this future – become a Futurist Hero too.
